BEIRUT: The United Nations slammed as 'unacceptable' an overnight attack against peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Wednesday.

The peacekeepers — members of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) — were attacked late Tuesday night by 'unknown perpetrators,' he said.
